Charming house in the village of painted doors

This house is situated in the heart of Valloria, a village in the Imperia hinterland which, thanks to its doors painted by various artists, resembles an open-air museum. This charming house features a sunny balcony offering views across the evergreen Valprino Valley all the way to the sea. During its recent renovation, emphasis was placed on high-quality materials such as cherry wood doors and a bespoke fitted kitchen. Thanks to a wood-burning stove, a pellet stove and insulated windows, it is suitable both as a holiday home and as a primary residence.
